Avoid at all costs

The hotel is old and run down. But even run down can be kept clean. Carpet in the room was worn and stained. My wife opened a large towel after she showered and it was stained. House keeping was non existent. The day manager was asleep in the office several times On Hotels.com it advertised breakfast included. It was not unless a cup of coffee is considered a breakfast. Thanks to Hotels.com for helping us cancel the remainder of our reservation there and providing a credit as an apology

Not sure when the last time the floors were vacuumed. I found fecal matter on the wall and on the bathtub. There is no hair dryer. Looks like they washed the mirrors with a dirty rag.

Lumpy, saggy mattress. A stray sock from the previous guest. A dim lobby. Trash and filth left in the hallway from construction crew doing renovations. A broken chair. No Kleenex (!!!). Not much to love here.

The stay was very accommodating, friendly, and happy. The motel was average, but appropriate for the price. It needs a good deep-cleaning, especially where the baseboard joins the floor. The pool was empty, and there was green, thick water in the hot tub.

Its connected to a little casino. The rooms are not in very good condition, uncomfortable, and dirty. My wife and I walked into our room and before we could set our bags down, walked back out and told the front we arent staying there. Very poor quality and cleanliness. The front desk was not very helpful with anything.

Enter at your own peril...

Place should be shut down until remodeling is complete. At least put a up a "pardon our mess" sign, instead of acting like its normal. Upon checking in another guest was complaining about the broken items in his room. Mine included bulb out, toilet no flush, bathroom fan seized, carpet had patches and stains, sink was slow to drain and the handles and spout were loose. Key card stoped working(not kept near cell phone or cc) and i just stopped closing the door all the way. Great for security huh? It was literally like a slum lord just got it barely ready and said "send it". I'm not picky with hotels, and in my lifetime this is the second worst one I've ever stayed in. That low price is their for a reason. Think of this as the Frontier Airlines of the Helena Hotel system. At least the staff was trying to be helpful. The a/c was cold. As for the rest...see title description

Our room was not clean. One of our pillows didn't have a pillow case and there was an apparent blood spot on the pillow. They never brought a new pillow case or new/extra pillow after requested. Room and hallways didn't appear to have seen a vacuum recently. The hallway smelled like urine. When I brought up my concerns to the motel, the front desk person essentially rolled her eyes and showed no indication she even cared. We ended up not even staying our (uncancellable/unrefundable) 2nd night. And cancelled the 3rd night. Not recommended. At all.

The hotel was very dirty. The website said there was breakfast offered but when I asked about it we were told there was none offered. The hotel was very run down and I would have left but it was to late to cancel my reservation.

Just like the best 1 Star in a third world country

One of the worst condition, dirty, run down hotel I have stayed at outside of 3rd world countries. 2nd floor reeked of some terrible smell, dirty, and dingy. Room was dirty, dresser had broken drawers hanging in place, curtains were half ripped down. Bed had broken box frame or frame as mattress was significantly bowed to the middle, a lantern was sitting on the floor with no table. Hotels.com should not allow this decrepit of a property to be listed.
